Episode 89 // Lindsy Trotter of Chilled Freezer Meals
This week on the podcast we’re talking with Lindsy Trotter of Chilled in Center Point, Iowa (pop. 2,421). Chilled provides freezer meals and menu planning with options for paleo, keto, whole 30, gluten free, vegetarian, and more.
What started out of necessity due to Lindsy’s daughter’s food sensitivities has quickly turned into a booming business. Lindsy’s sharing about her jump into entrepreneurship, how she used a local coffee shop to help build her business after hours, overcoming the fear of telling people no, and some of her best advice.
I was really trying to make a move into something that could feed my soul, and now I get to feed others doing so.
— Lindsy Trotter
I had to overcome the fear of people telling me no. I had to realize people saying no is not a big deal. I think people get caught up in what they perceive as big and scary and that it’s gonna be terrible, and really if you think about the end outcome, it’s just a little thing that you have to fix and then you move on.
— Lindsy Trotter
When you start a business, it seems like this giant mountain to climb, but you just have to keep doing the next thing. Just keep doing the next right thing.
— Lindsy Trotter
